About Roisin

Roisin Robinson-Fitzsimmons is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family issues. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, self-esteem, anger, sleeping and eating difficulties and relationship strain.

Roisin uses creative and expressive methods alongside approaches informed by cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour ideas. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, connecting feelings and behaviours, and building practical strategies to manage difficult moments. She adapts each session to an individual pace so people can work in ways that feel manageable.

Her background includes practice with attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality traits, and the stresses of caregiving. She also addresses family problems, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, domestic violence and forgiveness work. People contact her about gender dysphoria and LGBT matters as well.

In conversation she tends to use plain, active techniques and creative exercises when useful. That can mean drawing out patterns, doing short behavioural experiments, or rehearsing communication steps. The aim is to leave a person with concrete tools they can use between sessions.

Roisin supports people who are parents, stepparents or living in blended households as they adjust to new roles and routines. She accepts international clients and runs sessions from the UK; she works in English and follows BACP practice standards.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Roisin commonly draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with small behaviour changes. This approach is practical and suits issues like anxiety, low mood and sleeping or eating problems.

She also uses techniques inspired by dialectical behaviour approaches to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These methods can be useful for managing intense feelings, anger and relationship interactions.

Finding the best fit is part of the work. Roisin will discuss options and decide together which methods match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice allows techniques to be mixed or paced differently over time.

Confirm current session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter phone check-ins when video is not practical. Registered or accredited professionals frequently use online sessions to help people keep continuity of care while balancing family and work life.
